Another delicious recipe from The Cookbook Junkie! The first time I made this, I realized halfway through that we were out of ginger. Duh! I went ahead anyway (what choice did I have?) and added a little lime juice to give it a bit more flavor. It was still tasty, although it's better when you make it right.

Braised Ginger Pork

2 lb lean 1-inch pork cubes

1/3 C chicken broth

1 garlic clove, minced
1 T sugar
1 tsp ginger, ground

Add onion, garlic, sugar, ginger and pepper. Place in a pan along with meat. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until meat is tender. Serve over rice.
